What have you done with your California today?

[Polomint]

His name is Bodie.he’s going on holiday to the Peak District at the end of the month so will be doing a lot of little journeys for acclimatisation. So far so good.
@maidment ocean, you are obviously great pet parents to have got your border to such a good age

Haha, yes we are, his monthly meds cost more than our Cali!, but he’s worth it.

How about a constant 17 deg in the pop top most of the year. Can get these used for a reasonable cost. Super quiet and never gets in the way when mounted as shown. Dyson Hot/Cold DC09

This was our view at 10pm last night from the campsite La Viorna, just outside Potes in the Picos de Europa mountains.

Very nice spot this evening at Stromness in Orkney. Excellent view from our pitch watching boats come and go from Stromness and success with our new Ridge Monkey for salmon fillets

Is this the AM09 or is the DC09 a different model? Am thinking of purchasing one.
How effective do you find the cool air as I’ve read mixed reviews.

Bought this fan for off grid camping in France next couple of weeks (Anticipating a heat wave)

It surprisingly good and powerful fan for the money, it's currently on offer for £8 !

Various speeds , separate light (dimable / two brightness led) , usb charging , replaceable LiOn batteries.

Can be stood up on its base or hung up from the integrated hook in the base , titled etc.

For the money it's a no brainier.

Sounds like a bargain, thanks for the heads up, my dog might appreciate one of those in the hot weather.

I have something similar with a clip/stand from Home Bargains last year and for the same sort of price.
However, it’s a bit noisy. I thought that it might be worth spending a bit more to get something quiet. Does yours whisper or shout?

On the low setting it's quiet, on high it's fairly audible.

They are charged straight out of the box ! So could be cheeky in the shop

Fitted some shelves……

Yes, sorry, the DC09 is a vacuum cleaner. It's the AM09.

These look wonderful! Custom made?

Replaced rear brakes. Bit worn. 130 quid all in. DIY fitted. Hardest part was getting the calipers to return far enough. Symptoms were juddering brake pedal when braking from high speeds for anyone that has this.

Yes I have! VW dealer wants £550 for the front discs and £490 for the rear! This (and corroded front coil springs for £650) all showed up on the free health check while the van had MOT and 2nd all in service. I will be looking to do the brakes myself too.

 

[chockswahay]

@flying banana did you get the parts locally or mail order?

I highly recommend Nutexa Frictions for rotors and pads. I swapped mine out for these and the are very well made. Low dusting and work great! And I’ve got a heavy van.

Is that Indian Queens you used for the service?

I took the duff disc and pads to the local car shop here in thorne so he had the sizes and then they ordered them in for me. Got them same day. Other option was euro car parts who seem to have alot of stock from various makes. Botch. Brymbo. Pagid etc. I don't find much,if any difference between them all apart from the price . Go middle of the road. Ie not the dearest but not the cheapest.

Don't say that....I'm taking mine there tomorrow

Fitted a windscreen dash board seal thing so nothing can drop behind the massive gap where the dash meets the windscreen. I didn’t realize how big the gap was until I started fitting this. I don’t know how long it’ll last but for £1.80 from Ali Express it was worth a punt. It could have been bigger in my opinion but seems to fit ok. I

Yes it was. I don't think the prices are a reflection on them, more a case of VW expensive stuff and the price that most 'brand' dealers charge these days
